Who are Canada’s new farmers and what do they need to get started and be successful?
If you are currently farming, want to be a farmer, or have recently exited farming, we need to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to complete this survey to support the next generation of farmers in Canada.
The National New Farmer Coalition and the University of Manitoba have put together a survey to assess the needs of new farmers in Canada where it concerns policy and educational opportunities. The results from this survey will be used to develop a National New Farmer Policy Platform that we aim to share with all levels of government. It will also document the sources of new farmer learning and make suggestions on how to improve this edmeds24 com in Canada. In order to give weight to our recommendations, we need as many farmer voices as possible. You will be eligible to win up to $1500 in prizes for participating.
Please take 20-45 minutes to fill out the survey.
Please help us promote this survey by sharing it with you friends, neighbours and fellow farmers!
In solidarity,
The National New Farmer Coalition
(a group of new and young farmers from across Canada, as well as organizations including: National Farmers Union, Young Agrarians and Food Secure Canada) and Julia Laforge (University of Manitoba PhD Candidate)
